God has done so many cool things in my life. One of my very favorite is that I like myself. Really. That is a "God thing", in my way of thinking... wholeness...and I am so thankful for it. I don't necessarily fit into a steriotypical box either & I like that too.
*I want to dress modestly but I love low rise jeans (definitely not the "only wears dresses" kind of gal)
* I love animals but I'm not a tree hugger. I understand that people are more precious.
* I hate abortion but I care for & have compassion for women who felt they had no other option.
*I have high moral standards & sometimes am very disappointed because I don't meet them. (ie: I'm NOT perfect.)
*I want to be careful what I entertain myself with but I struggle with it because I love watching TV/movies.
*I want to save the world but can only do what I can do.
*I want to adopt but it's taking a looooong time!
*I believe God heals people all the time but it hasn't happened for me yet.
*I am well educated but I chose to stay home & raise my family rather than have a career right now.
*I think good manners are VERY important but my favorite children's story is "Walter The Farting Dog". (Honestly, it sooooooo funny!)
*I am VERY compassionate but can also be selfish. UGH!
*I like to sing but usually only when I'm driving...alone!
*I am fine with moderate alcohol consumption but I chose not to drink.
*I home school but I don't think it's "the only good way" to educate children.
*I think sunscreen is important but I don't always use it.
*I love organization but I'm not always organized.
*I despise hypocrisy & pride in others & then I notice it in myself. Ouch!
*I am me.
*Not perfect.
*That's OK.
*I know God has created me for a good purpose & that I am deeply loved.
*Wholeness - such a gift.
*Because of God's work in my life...I am me...& I love myself.

I believe it is a very good thing when we can accept,(but not embrace)our imperfections.
Bless you Patty, I like who God made you to be.
Thanks Jen! I appreciate the love. This one was a bit of a risk to publish for me.
It's refreshing that Christians are not all the same...I don't believe in the "cookie cutter Christian".
One thing that we should all have in common: we should all be trying to be more like Jesus. ~And that looks like many things...
Hmmm. Very nice. You just broke one of my unfortunate stereotypes.
Thanks Troutbirder. I'm so curious what stereotype I broke!?
love that. I think most of your thoughts fit me to a tee. I was suprised seeing that your blog was new to me this morning. You commented on my blog a few weeks back but I apparently didn't visit yours. I look forward to reading more.
